where to get new carpet

[sideSHO]

Hey gang.The carpet in my 91 is looking pretty bad.Anyone know where to get new stuff like OE or close to?Thanks for the help!

I got mine from http://www.impalasscarpet.com/bbc/ . I called the guy and asked him if he would make them for the SHO. He said that he could make them for almost any car. It came to around $300 shipped though it may be a little bit more now. The carpet is VERY hight quality, not like that cheap junk from Auto Custom Car (you see them on ebay all the time). In this case you do get what you pay for. I bought a carpet from ACC first, it was very cheap and started to wear around 3 or 4 months after I put it in. The one I had custom made has a very heavy rubber backing to it and has a nice soft feel like the OEM stuff. It mached the look of the door panels very well. I also got matching floor mats (there were around $100 for the set of 4) made out of the same carpet. You will need to put your own jute backing on the carpet if you want it, it does not come with it preattached. I replace all the padding when I did the carpet and I did not need to add any more to the bottom of the carpet.

Know anybody that does the carpet in the trunk??

I just took mine out and took it to a car wash. I soaked it with Castrol Super Clean first and then pressure washed it. If you have any trunk leaks fix them first (I did not and now I have to clean my liner again). If you want to seen mine woul could meet at the new overlook on the NC side of the new I-26 section. It seems to be mid way between Jonesborough and Asheville. I could run up there during lunch one day, I work in Barnardsville.

Bringing this thread back.

Anyone else recommend a carpet source?

You should be able to get carpet and mats from your local upholstry shop.
I got my first purchase from ACC or accmats.com.
It cost under $220 for carpet, all 4 mats and shipping.
I have a source for trunk carpet and will soon be offering spare tire covers using a plywood base vs the easily warped factory material.

Like Mitchell already said, the ACC carpet is junk. Impalasscarpet.com is the way to go if you want the best.

It depends on your budget and desires.
I was quite happy with ACC and still am.
After 4 years in my 89 the carpet is still as new.
You can also get factory carpet from Ford for $380.
